  Brink of frustration = the system they implemented generated enough frustration that an article was written about it.

  Turn out the freeloaders were the managers who were so disconnected from their teams, they needed techno-opression.

  I’m worse at my job at the office. There are more distractions and I get less done

  “Brink of frustration?” Heavens! What’s next, discontent? Anger, even? Perish the thought!

  Most are required to log at least eight hours a day, five days a week, on-site.

  At least 8 hours a day? At least? Let me guess, United States of America?

  This is what business has been in america this millenia. Its the engineering bridge building competition where once you bridge can hold the weight you peel of the structure bit by bit because you don't win unless it collapses but just barely.

  That’s a creative use of the word “brink”.

  I’d buy me a pitchfork.
